Don't Take Our Word For It
- "We've been fortunate enough to work with WebMedley for the past year and a half and they have helped take CoachCal.com and all of our social media efforts to the next level. The work done on the 'Making of the Calipari Bottle' is just one example of the tremendous creativity and vision WebMedley gives us. We pride ourselves in being the 'Gold Standard' for college basketball and WebMedley in the 'Gold Standard' in their field." - John Calipari, University of Kentucky head basketball coach.
- I learn more from you each time we talk than any other people who call on me. - Equipment Dealer
- "Thank you so much for your time and assistance. We appreciate all of the help that your support team gives us. They respond quickly and are very helpful." - From a client we've had for 9 years
- "We have been working with WebMedley for several months now and are very pleased with them. They have helped us grow our social media presence tremendously and given us a ton of ideas for effective Internet marketing. I recommend them highly. It can be a confusing medium to navigate and their help has been invaluable." - Retailer
- "Thanks so much. You guys are the best. I live here in Lexington, and my church uses your services... and I love it. Absolutely awesome with customer service and friendly too!" - A Church Client
- "I have turned over the site to WebMedley to do the work on building the page, analytics, and all ads (Google and Facebook). I do the blog work and they get the information out to the world. I could never do the distribution on my own. I have seen a dramatic increase in quality cases since the first of the year." - An Attorney
- "You have a happy customer! Thank you, these are great." - Software Development Company
- "We have been quite impressed with WebMedley thus far. Their quick response and immediate attention mentality allows us to make changes and address issues very promptly. Their creativity and the quality of their work has really given our new website a crisp, state-of-the-art look. In just a couple of short weeks we have already noticed a decrease in bounce rate, an improvement in our web traffic, and an increase in our website email inquiries.

- "Thank you for your help yesterday. Chad was great and although it took a long time to figure out the problem I REALLY appreciated him sticking with me to do so, so I could get the newsletter out." - A Client in Hawaii
- "Before we started working with WebMedley, our website simply "existed". It was outdated, hard to navigate, and wasn't being utilized to its full potential. WebMedley completely redesigned our site from top to bottom, added new features, helped us take advantage of various social media, and most importantly, vastly improved the way we communicate with our sponsors and our patients. They are much more than a web development company… we consider them essential partners in the growth of our company." - A Company in the Medical Field
- "First, I want to personally thank you for the website, it is BY FAR the best $ I have ever spent. I get so many compliments about it, so... job well done." - A Doctor
- "The greatest benefit to working with WebMedley, however, is that they are full of creative, interactive marketing ideas that can help in a variety of areas of your business.

Whether you are a Facebook junkie or just trying to sign up for Twitter, they can speak where you are with real-world examples and keen understanding delivered in an engaging presentation." - A Director of Marketing

- "I wanted to let you know that even in the short amount of time I got to listen in on your session, I was very impressed. I've been to a bunch of these conferences and often the PR/marketing-type people have lame presentations. It was refreshing to see a conference actually get it right!" - Association Member on a Training Session
- "Just wanted to take a sec to thank you all for the site. Reviews are unanimously positive! I know he loves it to death, because he told me this about 30 times yesterday. We also had some feedback by folks who have been in this "biz" for ages, who say it's as good as anything out there. So thanks again.

The topics you covered are scary for people who have worked successfully on the same platform for a long time. On that platform they do a great job. They will do a terrific job on the new platform once it's up. Please accept my personal congratulations for the knowledge you displayed and for your patience and pleasantness during the training. You are a true professional at what you do. - A Church Client

Question by Forty2 62 · Sep 12 '10 at 01:30 AM · clothing lifestyle weight-loss side-effects
I'm now a men's 30x30 pants and small shirt. That's down from 36x30 pants and large shirt. I'm 5'7"/170cm and 152lbs/69kg.
Unless I want to spend some serious money, and I don't, it's nigh impossible to find decent clothing that fits me. If I can even find smaller sizes -- and a "small" shirt can be too tight or way too large -- the styles are either grandpa or teenage boy. Even in the same style, different fabrics are different sizes, e.g. Levis 501s 30x30 in black-blue fabric fit great but the same size 501 in indigo blue do not, too tight. It's infuriating. I've even had to buy boys size 18 or 20 in shirts and the fashion isn't really my taste. I spent hours today at the outlet/remainder stores and only found two pairs of pants and one shirts, at least at prices I was willing to pay. The stuff at the Calvin Klein store fit well but it's so overpriced and even there a small in one style fit completely different from a small in another style. This one place I went had NO small size in anything, though I did find a great pair of winter-weight "Kühl" pants 30x30 that are, well, flattering :)
The goal was winter clothing e.g. coats and flannel shirts but I only found one shirt that wasn't a freaking tent and the coats are absurd. I have to replace all my winter gear because it's all way too big now. I guess I'll check out Costco next, or maybe LL Bean. Ugh.
There's no shortage of clothes for fatties. How about a "short, skinny, angry" shop? I know, I'll call it Kneebiters!
I know, not a question, but all my friends are like "STFU, I wish I had your problem" so I really have no other place to vent, thanks for listening! If anyone has suggestions for US stores that aren't Abercrombie or other peddlers to teens etc I'd be appreciative.

Had the same problem as you; lost over 100lbs and had to buy a completely new wardrobe. You might try a thrift store in your area. You likely won't find anything too trendy, but you'll probably be able to find some basic classics. Button up shirts, slacks, chinos, etc. All for pretty cheap. Then have what you can tailored. Eventually you can put together a wardrobe for pretty cheap that fits you like a glove.
As for jeans, I'm a big fan of 501 shrink-to-fit jeans. Hope that helps.
Yet another vote for thrift stores. I never buy retail. Ever. Every bit of outerwear I and my family wears was gleaned from thrift stores, yard sales, hand me downs, and even the dumpster!
You CAN find hip and trendy clothes that fit but it takes some perserverance. Plan a day every week when you are not busy and have some cash and go to the thrift store. Be thorough (look through everything) be picky and try everything on. But you must go over and over! Don't expect to find the perfect wardrobe in one or two trips. :)Once u find the sizes/styles that fit you can hit the yard sales!

When I was fat I had the same problem.. Nothing fit right
Now I buy exclusively "athletic cut"... Works great!
Non tailored clothes just look baggy
Answer by Girl Gone Primal 2657 · Sep 12 '10 at 02:15 AM
I've always been a difficult frame to find clothes for - at first it was because I had a big bust for such a young age, then I shot up absurdly tall with big feet, then I had big arms when I was competing in shot put and swimming events year-round, and then I got fat! And even as a fat person, I held it in my thighs and love handles, which meant pants were painful, skirts sat weirdly on my waist, and tops would either be too tight at the bust or hip, and usually hang like a sack from my boobs and over my flat mid-section. Yuck!
But losing the weight wasn't always helpful - although losing the thighs and love handles meant I had better like finding well-fitting bottoms (if they were long enough), and my arms and shoulders aren't as butch as they once were, I'm always going to be busty. When I'm chubby in other areas, my rack isn't as prominent and dominant. Now, if I can find a brand that is made for curves, I have to work hard to find pieces that don't leave me looking like a showgirl! Downplaying the bust is a must if I want any chance of having my students pay attention to what I'm teaching, rather than focusing on other things...
Answer by Jonathan 1171 · Sep 12 '10 at 04:35 AM
There is definitely some vanity sizing going on with men's clothing these days. I'm six-foot/194lbs, and had to buy a "Men's Small" bathing suit this summer (and no, I wasn't going for that revealing Euro banana sling look). I second Stephen-Aegis on the "Athletic Fit," although I have yet to find that perfect T-shirt which fits in the shoulders and then comes all the way in at the waist (i.e., doesn't make me look like I still have a gut). And then there's the fact that most of my wardrobe is still left over from when I was a couch potato weighing 252...
Answer by tattooedchef 2550 · Sep 12 '10 at 08:28 AM
Your rant reminded me instantly of an article that I just came across.
Why you shouldn't rely on clothing for actual waist measurements.
I was just shopping for a new pair of jeans yesterday at Eddie Bauer, and the ones that fit best were 30x30. (Pre-Paleo, I was a 36x30.) My wife stood there with this look on her face of happiness (for me) and disgust (for me) at the same time. "You need to eat some pizza."
I pointed at the jeans I had on. "These are 32-30's, hon. Every brand measures 'em different." And it's true. A 32 in one store is not a 32 in another store these days, especially with nineteen different "fits" of jeans/pants. Relaxed fit/classic fit/boot cut/carpenter jeans/builder jeans/worker pants...it just means trying on jeans is much more of an issue than it was back when we were younger, and Levis had four or five basic styles.

i have started wearing my 11 year old daughters clothes!
fit great and just doubled my wardrobe

Answer by Will 1205 · Sep 14 '10 at 03:35 AM
This is incredibly frustrating, and I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem!
I'm down to approximately 30x32, and the only clothing I can find in that size is for hipsters. The problem is that hipsters are skinny with skin-tight pants, and my muscular thighs can't even fit into them! I'm starting to wonder if I will have to get pants custom-tailored for my muscular but lean paleo frame. Right now I am wearing everything in "relaxed fit" which is also extremely hard to find in these sizes.
(This, incidentally, is one reason I've been hesitant to engage in any kind of mass gain program. My thighs can't get any bigger. Really, they just can't.)
Answer by MartinS 31 · Sep 20 '10 at 06:49 AM
I'd say that you have two viable options :
Option 1 is to buy clothes that you like, in a size closest to your desired size, and then have them altered by a local tailor or seamstress. If your budget is tight, focus on your everyday work-clothes for the most bang for your buck.
Of course this is a bad idea for those who are still losing(or gaining) weight og working certain places.(I don't think garbagemen tailor their jumpsuits and overalls).
Option 2 is not a suggestion to visit a plastic surgeon, but to visit the gym. 69 Kg on a 170 cm isn't very bulky and you may consider adding some muscle, to fill out those shirts and pants.
Answer by MikeD 3931 · Sep 20 '10 at 01:47 PM
My problem is neck size! I still have about a size 16 neck (not sure what weight lifting regime grew those muscles haha) and dress shirts for men with that size neck are for dudes with bellies much larger than mine. I go for athletic fit shirts or get smaller neck size and never button the top button. Might need to go to Europe to get clothes before their sizes adjust to the obesity eppdemic.
Answer by bittykitty 1678 · Jan 28 '11 at 05:38 PM
I have grown to HATE clothes shopping.Being 5'3, 34-26-37 makes everything off the rack fit weird.Dresses bag on top,pants becomes low rise whether they mean to be or not, (slide right off the waist to the middle of the hip and bag in the crotch),legs drag on the ground.Not to mention that in women's fashion, you can only choose between"pre teen/teen" "skanky club clothes""soccer mom" or "grandma".Nice,but not office wear, clothes for late 20s/early 30s women like me are very hard to find without spending a fortune.
sleeves! Same for pants and jeans, getem to fit everywhere else and then hem the damn things. I also alter bras all the time, usually just shortening the straps. Because apparently a 36DD only belongs on someone 5'9" or greater... ?

Nine-vehicle M6 pile up in Cumbria
Last updated at 14:22, Sunday, 30 December 2012
NINE vehicles were involved in a collision which occurred during terrible weather conditions on the M6 motorway in Cumbria.
The emergency services were called at around 9.40pm on Saturday amid reports of multiple cars being involved in a pile up between junction 37 and 38 on the M6.
When they arrived at the incident, which was near Penrith, they found nine vehicles were involved.
The collision occurred during a heavy hailstorm and a fire engine from Penrith and a fire engine from Shap attended.
Nobody was trapped in their vehicles, so fire crews assisted the ambulance service with casualty care and first aid.
None of the drivers or passengers suffered serious injuries, however the northbound carriageway of the road was shut for around an hour.

Easy in and out. The attendant was very helpful.
Parking is always reliable. Sometimes I get blocked in but the valets are always good at moving the cars out in a timely manner.
They had to valet my car, and normally I can park it myself. So when I came to pick it up, the guy who I gave my ticket too had a really strong accent but I managed to explain to him that no, I did not know where my car was parked because I had not parked it (which should have been obvious since I had a ticket and normally they don't give one if you self-park. No one had kept track of that for him, so he wandered around for 5 minutes to find it. It's not his fault, but I don't like cutting it close on getting out of there before my time through the Parkwhiz account expires, so I was a little stressed. But he got my car to me in time, so it all worked out.
It was close to the Art Institute, but it was tricky to wind down the ramp and to find an empty space in the close quarters as it was almost full at that time.
Some tight turns, but they quickly directed me to my parking spot (even though the sign said the garage was full). I was able to keep my keys and could have easily returned to my car throughout the day if necessary.
It is not marked which of the two scan readers one needs to hold the application in front of at the entry/exit gates. They should be marked as to which devise applies which scan.
This garage is close to anything you want to do in downtown Chicago. Blocks away from Millennium park and the Art Institute. Easy exit- Scan the ticket (on the blue light scanner) to exit. This garage works for SUVs but smaller cars will find it easier to navigate.
Vehicle height restriction: 84 inches
Managed by ABM Parking Services (Chi). This location is a commercial parking garage.
Nearby destinations: Bank of America Theatre, Oriental Theatre, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Goodman Theatre, Jay Pritzker Pavilion.
The Palmer House address is 17 E Monroe, however the parking garage is located at 124 S. Wabash. You will find the garage on the west side of Wabash, in between Monroe and Adams and next to a Corner Bakery. ****Even if the sign at the lot says it is full, ParkWhiz customers are still guaranteed a spot.*****

First time poster... Everything was working fine until yesterday, when the city shut off the water main on my street for a few hours. When it came back on, I was suddenly not getting cold water in one of the showers in my house. Everything else is working fine, including the sink in the same bathroom (hot & cold, pressure, no problems). This is in the upstairs bathroom. Hot works fine, it's just the cold. It's a single tap. All the way left (about 10:00) is full cold, all the way right (about 2:00) is full hot.
I've left it running on full cold, hoping it was just air in the pipes from the shut-off that needed to flow through, but after quite a while, all I got was a tiny trickle. I've read similar posts here that indicate it might be the pressure balancing valve, but I'm suspicious of a couple things: 1) it was working totally fine before the main shut-off occurred, and 2) this shower is used at least twice/day, so it's not like it should have been stuck from low usage.
I took apart what I could, but I'm not 100% sure what brand the valve is. It was in the house when I bought it. It may be Delta, but again, not sure, and I haven't seen any pics posted in the forums that look like it. So, here's a picture of it.
Attachment 19048
I like to think I'm handy (but ask my wife to be sure), and I can follow instructions (again...), but I'm certainly no plumber. I'm not sure where to go from here. I don't know how to check for a pressure-balancing valve, any kind of cartridge, or what that even would look like. There also doesn't seem to be any more obvious ways to take anything apart without breaking something. Is there anything I can do here myself before calling a pro?
Thanks very much.

Great Dining in East Portland – Birthday celebrated Friday was fantastic - the service was timely and friendly; the food was awesome, especially my Rib Steak; and it was a nice buzz of happy diners around that made it fun!
Ringside, we'll see you soon! We need to check out the Happy Hour - heard it's awesome as well!
Overrated Restaurant ... Poor Quality – Steaks are very expensive
No vegetables/salads with meals that are up to $39.95
Steak was improperly prepared and returned
Cocktails were watered down
No import beers on tap
This restaurant needs an entire overhaul of their quality to price ratio. For an established restaurant that is highly regarded, it was one of our worst restaurant experiences ever.
Extremely disappointing experience. Will not recommend and will never go to this restaurant again.
Love the Atmosphere in the Lounge – The lounge at Ringside Glendoveer has a great happy hour, the staff is fantastic, and the fire is nice to cozy up to during the frigid winter months. Just be careful not to order the entire happy hour menu as it can get a bit spendy.
Looks Can Be Deceiving – Great Steak and a throwback atmosphere! Attentive staff but not very knowledgeable about wine pairings. I would recommend this place for a great dinner after 18 holes of golf!
not that good – We had recived a coupon in the mail for ringside east, so we went. When we didn't order drinks or wine
( we don't drink) and told the waiter that we had a coupon, he pretty much wrote us off. I am sure he figured that we would tip on the reduced amount, so why bother with these loosers. wife's steak was rare or raw in the middle, She asked for medium well. Humm. strange that a steak house would get that so wrong. Never recived bread ( we got the plates for it) Had to ask for bread, not cool.
My problem with this place is that the menu has a very limited selection to choose from and rather high prices at that. Still love Ringside west, just don't like the east or at least the waiter that we had.
The guy below me is an idiot – Seriously. did he say overpriced and applebees in the same paragraph? Oh...let's not mention safeway. So stay at home. Sorry. This place is great, and unexpected exquisite atmosphere and service period not to mention the area. If you want a great meal, great ambiance and not a snobby Ruth Chris waiter / atmosphere this is your place. Go to Ruth Chris on the company and take your spouse here and have the same great meal in your neighborhood without spending outrageous prices.
You can't go wrong...BEST STEAK IN TOWN – Seriously treat yourself. The prices may seem a little high but are completely worth it. The staff is knowledgeable and very proper. There truly isn't a weak menu item and the wine list is incredible. Dress up and make a reservation you won't regret it. If you don't want to make it a formal affair I would also recommend Happy Hour. The steak tid-bits are awesome.
great food packed restaurant thou – great place, we tried to get reservation day of and it worked out fine... steaks so good they were to die for service fine not great but they were busy so i understood. wouldn't expect coming in dressed down as a goood idea but can work.. best steak i've ever had:)
Great food, but bad customer service!! – One night my husband and I decided to order to go from this location. The phone was busy for hours. So I decided to drive there to order in person. I walked up to the front counter and said I would like to place a to go order please. The manager dressed in a suit said to me sorry not at this time. I was baffled! What do you mean not at this time? I mean it's like going to a car dealership to buy a car and the sales manager tells you sorry we don't have any cars at this time. I was irrate!!! What a snobby man I thought. Unfortunately, we went back to the same location for a family dinner. The service was so so, but what's new. We're really there for the food. Four of us decided to try their Kobe Style Filet Mignon, which was the most expensive order on the menu, but get this....they didn't have any. Are you kidding me? I just hate, absolutely hate dining at a restaurant where you are judge by your cover and age. Yes we prefer to dress casual sometimes and yes we are young, but that doesn't mean we don't deserve good service. So 10 for the steak and 3 for the service. Be advised, if you are looking for a young and hip place, this is not it.
The best filet in years – My wife & I were were there with another couple. We had made reservations and arrived 15-20 early and were seated as soon as we arrived. We asked for a recommendation on wine from the "value menu, under 30.00" and it turned out to be excellent, our waitress was very knowledgeable. We opted for steaks, myself the filet with a side of oysters. The meat was cooked exactly as asked and was almost fork tender, one of the best steaks I've had in years. After dinner a trip to the bar for a cigar, it was noce to have that option. All in all a wonderful experience.

Comments about Potato Express As Seen on TV:
I had my doubts if this product would be as easy to use as it looks and if it would cook potatoes in 4 minutes. I was so surprised when I tried the bag and am amazed at how well it works. The potatoes came out fully cooked, fluffy and delicious and it only took the 4 minutes to cook the potatoes as advertised.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Doesn't work
from N. Carolina
Tried to cook 2 potatoes for 3, 4 minute increments. Potatoes still not done. It took more time than just wrapping potatoes in a wet paper towel and cooking for 7 minutes. It's definitely a dud.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Afternoon light in a Beijing hutong

2012Apr 24
On our way back to Taipei and passing through Yilan, we stopped at the Lanyan Museum — a beautiful gem of a building, arguably best viewed from a distance, where the architecture's rugged peaks appear to rise straight out of the misty waters as if to narrate the story of Yilan's birth.
2012Mar 11
outside, mountain mist so thick you need to cut it with a knife to reveal the water beneath;
inside, the gentle aroma of oolong tea leaves stewing in the pot; the sizzle of the fire heating up the kettle; and the rise and fall of soft voices in lazy conversation, a blend of Japanese and Taiwanese and Mandarin. We dallied until dusk.
2012Mar 1
Any doubts I had about being back in Taiwan was erased when I bit into my first black-pepper bun for the first time in my life, sometime last year. (I've probably eaten it as a kid, too, but I won't pretend that that counts at all.) It was love at first sight with this golden-crisp, savory with a hint of spice, juice-splattering, crunchy-on-the-outside chewy-on-the-inside ball of goodness. No wonder my mother used to line up for half an hour to buy them fresh out of the clay oven.

IL vets to get a hand transitioning to civilian workforce
Veterans in Illinois will some be able to use their experience as military medics to become licensed practical nurses or emergency medical technicians. That's because the state was one of six chosen by the National Governors Association to participate in the "Veterans Licensing and Certification Demonstration Policy Academy."
Governor Pat Quinn on Monday announced Illinois' participation in the program that eases licensing requirements for medics and helps ex-military police officers transition to civilian police forces.
The other state chosen to participate include Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nevada and Virginia.
Governor Pat Quinn last lawmaker working without pay
CHICAGO (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn slashed lawmakers' salaries because he wasn't happy with their inaction on Illinois' pension crisis. But these days the only elected official working without pay is Quinn himself.
A judge told the Chicago Democrat it's unconstitutional to hold back legislators' salaries. But Quinn also gave up his own paycheck and still vows not to collect it until the pension crisis is solved. So three checks totaling about $44,000 await Quinn at the state comptroller's office.
Some Republicans challenging Quinn's 2014 re-election bid call it a populist stunt. But his supporters say he's as frugal as he's always boasted and is probably faring just fine.
But things could get tight for him if the committee charged with proposing a solution to the pension crisis doesn't come through soon.
Most Illinois workers laid-off due to shutdown are back on job
CHICAGO (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn's budget office says most state workers whose salaries are paid by federal money are back on the job, but more layoffs could come if the federal shutdown continues.
Roughly 100 workers were issued temporary layoffs last week, including employees with the Department of Military Affairs, the Illinois Department of Employment Security and Labor Department.
Quinn's budget office says temporary layoffs for more than 70 employees expired Wednesday. The U.S. House has approved back pay for some workers.
More than three dozen workers are still off the job, including Labor employees who conduct work site safety inspections. More state layoffs could be issued next week.
Quinn has sent U.S. House Speaker John Boehner a letter, urging the shutdown's end and predicting hundreds more layoffs if the shutdown continues.
Quinn to talk to lawmakers about police resources
CHICAGO (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn says he plans to talk to the Legislature about making sure state police have enough resources at their disposal to deal with a backlog of applications for gun ownership.
The Illinois State Police continues to struggle with a backlog of applications for gun ownership. So it remains to be seen how they can handle an influx of requests for permits to carry concealed weapons.
The department has 49,000 applications for Firearm Owners Identification cards awaiting approval.
Police estimate there will be 400,000 applications for "carry" permits in the first year.
Quinn says he wants to make sure police are able to do their jobs.
In July Illinois became the last state in the nation to allow residents to carry concealed weapons.
IL budget director: shutdown could affect state jobs
CHICAGO (AP) - A budget director for Gov. Pat Quinn says if the federal government shutdown proceeds, Illinois employees paid by federal funds could face temporary layoffs as early as Wednesday.
The budget office had no estimates Monday for how many employees would be affected.
Abdon Pallasch is Quinn's assistant budget director. In a statement, he says that the timing of the layoffs would depend on existing resources and individual agencies. Agencies that could be affected include Illinois Emergency Management Agency, Veterans Affairs and Military Affairs.
During the last shutdown in 1995, about 1,200 Illinois employees were temporarily laid off. They were hired back after two weeks.
Pallasch says most state agencies have sufficient funds to provide services in the short term, but a longer term shutdown would have a greater impact.
Quinn: Juvenile justice has made great strides
CHICAGO (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn says he hasn't seen a report released Thursday that details inadequate conditions at juvenile detention centers, but Illinois has made "important strides" with fewer juveniles incarcerated.
Quinn told reporters Thursday that Illinois has to have a system where young people who make mistakes pay their debt and face consequences. He says if the report raises issues, they'll be looked at.
Watchdog group the John Howard Association released a review Thursday on conditions at a Kewanee facility specializing in treatment for juveniles with mental health issues.
Another report was submitted in federal court as part of the settlement. It describes incarcerated teens mowing lawns during the school day and being routinely subjected to more solitary confinement than necessary.
Juvenile detention centers house more than 800 juvenile inmates.
Governor Quinn releases some details on marketplace health care
CHICAGO (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn's administration is trickling out information about what Illinois health insurance prices will be on the new marketplace that's a backbone of President Barack Obama's health care law.
Quinn's office announced Tuesday the monthly rates for the lowest-cost plan for a 25-year-old nonsmoker will be $120 in Chicago or $128 in Peoria. For a 40-year-old nonsmoker, the monthly cost of the cheapest plan would be $152 in Chicago or $163 in Peoria.
Most Illinois residents will be able to choose from at least 34 plans when the marketplace goes live Oct. 1.
Consumers will have to wait until then to learn exactly what choices will be available in their region and how much they'll pay. New tax credits will lower costs for some, depending on household income.
Gov. Quinn responds to Bill Daley dropping out of race
CHICAGO (AP) - With his top Democratic challenger out of the 2014 race, Gov. Pat Quinn says he remains focused on his day job.
Quinn addressed reporters Wednesday in Chicago. The appearance was his first since former White House chief of staff Bill Daley bowed out of the 2014 race.
Quinn shied away from addressing Daley's criticisms, including parting statements that Quinn wouldn't win.
With just one lesser known candidate left, he's widely expected to get the nod from his party during the March primary.
Quinn says he'll still attend a statewide slating discussion this weekend in Springfield by the state's Democratic party.
Four Republicans are running for governor. Quinn says it'll be a tough contest.
Gov. Quinn puts funding for Capitol building renovation on hold
CHICAGO (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn has suspended funding for the next phase of a pricey renovation project at the state Capitol that's caused embarrassment for financially-shaky Illinois and raised questions about how it was allowed.
The Chicago Democrat told reporters Tuesday that he's instructed his budget director to hold up any further appropriations for the project.
The restoration of the National Historic Landmark has already drawn criticism from officeholders and candidates, along with lots of finger-pointing. Sparking the outrage has been copper-plated wooden doors with a nearly $670,000 price tag and more than $323,000 for four chandeliers.
Quinn blamed Capitol architect J. Richard Alsop III and says he needs to be "reigned in" by the legislative commission he reports to.
It's a nearly $50 million taxpayer funded renovation.
Quinn claims 80K IL jobs from foreign firms since 2009
CHICAGO (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn claims Illinois has added 80,000 jobs through foreign firms since he took office, but some economists say he can't take all the credit.
The Chicago Democrat released new jobs figures while in Japan for a conference with other governors and business executives. He returns on Tuesday.
Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity spokeswoman Sandra Jones says Quinn's figures come from a report from Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. That's a New Jersey-based credit reporting service for businesses. The figures are from 2009's end to earlier this year.
University of Illinois economist Fred Giertz says the increase is possible, but much of it is automatic. He says international companies want to do business in Illinois and some will whether an elected official pushes it or not.

It's September, which means it's back to school time!
I have always loved school and find comfort and security in the routine of the school year. However, for the parents of the more than 206,000 kids with diabetes, school can be a beast that seems untamable.
So let's tame the beast
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973: If you live in a state that does not have statutory requirements for treatment of children with diabetes at school (which is the case for most of us), you can request a 504 plan under the American's With Disabilities Act. This plan requires that the child with diabetes be cared for in a specific way that is agreed upon by the parents, doctors and the school. It is sometimes difficult to obtain the plan, but it is possible and can be worth it.
To qualify, a child must have a record of medical need. When the child has such a record, a school can lose federal funding if it does not attend to the child appropriately. A school cannot refuse to allow a child with diabetes the same opportunities as other children nor penalize the child because of diabetes.
Remember, the school should prepare a plan that outlines how the child's needs will be met, including emergency strategies. The parents should be present during the development of this plan and should revise it annually.
For more information visit: www.childrenwithdiabetes.com.
The site will walk you through how to set up a 504 plan with you child's school.
Know You Child's Rights
Even with all the available resources, there are still many misunderstandings about students with diabetes and their rights. We must remember that parents of children with diabetes are within their rights to require proper treatment for their child in the school setting or while the child is under school care.
Here's the bottom line:
Resources for Keeping You and Your School-Aged Child Well-Informed
Without information, we are like a gardener without a rake or shovel. But there are plenty of seeds, tools and helpers available.
All of these resources provide guidance to school staff members and offer hope to students with diabetes and their parents.
Did You Know…
that high school students with diabetes are entitled to special accommodations during standardized tests (SAT,ACT)? These typically include "stop the clock" breaks for glucose testing, bathroom visits or glucose treatments.
Nicole Johnson Baker and GNC Team Up to Educate People About Pre-Diabetes
On July 7, 2004, Nicole Johnson Baker teamed up with Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based General Nutrition Centers, Inc. (GNC)—the nation's largest specialty retailer of nutritional supplements—to launch a public education campaign to help consumers understand diabetes and "pre-diabetes."
One in five Americans has diabetes or pre-diabetes, yet a majority of them may not even realize it. The GNC campaign will specifically educate Americans about the risk factors associated with diabetes.

Pirates aren't the rarified theme they may, at first, appear to be in video games. Having out-and-out buccaneer titles like Sid Meier's Pirates! or Tortuga Two Treasures are certainly fewer and farther between than Sims 2 expansion packs or Guild Wars iterations; but pirates still wile their way into many an MMORPG, somehow never drifting too far from developers' collective imaginations -- even if pirates are sometimes resigned to b-, c-, and d-list cameos. Final Fantasy XI introduced the Corsair job in the Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion; collecting pirate hats in the Southsea garners reputation points with Gadgetzan in World of Warcraft; EVE Online would be reduced to a "carebear" love fest without the concerted efforts of player-pirates; even the upcoming Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures will have you initially wash ashore on Tortage Island, a location built from the ground up on recognizable pirate-branded tropes; and so it goes.
Pirates of the Burning Sea, by developer Flying Lab Software, comes to us just as the world is sitting back down in their bleachers from a fevered pitch of Pirates of the Caribbean movies, multiple History Channel affectations of 'true' pirate life, Master and Commander: Far Side of the World, and even the animated Treasure Planet. With all of this attention on pirates from video games, Hollywood, and literature (Master and Commander is based on the novels of the same name by Patrick O'Brian, and Treasure Planet is an interpolation of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island) it's high time for a mature (as opposed to a Disney-backed) triple-A massively-multiplayer online game to broadside the marketplace. When it comes to a subscription base, Flying Lab Software is very much aware of the 800-pound gorilla in the room, World of Warcraft, but they're also -- pound for pound -- not going directly up against Blizzard Entertainment. Burning Sea is very much
providing players with a boutique experience
, adeptly steering clear of the standby orcs and elves genre that's run several pretenders-to-the-crown down towards a gasping, watery death.
Burning Sea takes places in a
stylized but otherwise historically-accurate Caribbean Sea
in the early 1700s. The architecture is scaled-back and realistic for the most part, the ships are likewise though they're undeniably floating fortresses of high art, the avatars' costuming puts the Oregon Shakespeare Festival to shame, and the soundtrack -- while building upon the big, brassy sounds of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean, also has several dozen songs that operate within period-piece parameters that ring true of the era. Only the landscapes feel hyperbolized; but thank goodness, considering the fact that flat-ocean reflections can do only just so much on their own as eye candy.
Ship-to-ship combat is paramount and serves as the shiny beacon that keeps Burning Sea beyond arm's length from other MMOs in a crowded, online seascape. While ship combat operates virtually identical to many offline pirate games that preceded it, the tutorial makes the rather haughty assumption that this is not your first pirate game … and that you have an inherent working knowledge of the effects that wind, current, and speed have on your ability to maneuver a ship. The
in-game tutorial will hold your hand one time through the process
, but the lasting instructions for moving your ship, as well as avatar combat, are nothing more than .PDF files of the quick-reference cardstock included in the game box. There's also no tutelage on combat tactics, which affords a steeply-ramped learning curve in a game that prides itself on combat tactics.
Burning Sea successfully challenges the vehicular combat implemented in EVE Online, and pulls far ahead of the frenetic blast-a-thon that was once Auto Assault. In all honesty, without taking too many cues from either of those examples, Burning Sea's vehicular combat is the best of the bunch. With heavy emphasis on player skill, as opposed to character skill, it's feasible to stand toe to toe against bigger and (subjectively) badder ships.
On the flipside of its own coin, Burning Sea suffers much once avatar combat swings over the railing. There are three fighting styles and (essentially) only three weapons to brandish at your foresworn enemies. The Naval Officer class fences with rapiers, Privateers and Pirates get the job done by dirty fighting with cutlasses, and Freetraders take up defensive postures with the dual-wielding Florentine style of fighting. The skill tree is replete with buffs to certain attacks, passive bonuses to others, and new moves to continually introduce into the fray. But confronting the enemy with any semblance of order is rare, and when engaging in 6-on-6 combat with a rival captain, all the frantic running around just grows wearisome and seldom elevates itself above sheer silliness. One-on-one combat? Not so bad. Two-on-one? Still doable. But get anymore characters on the board than that, and the schizophrenic aggro system will have your enemies and your allies switching targets every few seconds, sprinting all over the beach, or from stem to stern, in rampant fashion.
What gives Burning Sea some sea-legs, however, is the Realm vs. Realm basis the game's floating on. The level progression is arguably the fastest you'll find in any MMORPG, which is a deliberate move on Flying Lab's part. They figure that the more people reaching the level cap and digging heavily into the RvR play, the better. There are certain ports that are protected from enemy capture, but a hefty percentage of the towns around the Caribbean are subject to "port contention" and capture. Defending nations can reel the numbers back in from critical mass, but if left unchecked, offending nations can bring about a 24 vs. 24-ship battle (a battle royale) that ultimately decides who owns the port.
This is arguably a more exciting game mechanic than hitting the level cap, beating your head against the ceiling in high-end raid after high-end raid, then wallowing about waiting for the next expansion pack to raise the level cap a smidge higher. But with weekly server resets in Burning Sea, victory still tends to be short-lived. A weekly server reset grants more 'permanence' in affecting an online world than, say, a boss respawn, but it's ultimately easy to ignore attacks falling on low-priority ports.
Another element that builds longevity into Burning Sea is the ability for players to submit user-generated content: Sails, flags, and even ship hull designs -- many of which are already in the game, up and running. In fact, a startling number of in-game ships were actually constructed by beta testers. And with sail and flag customization, societies (guilds) have one more visually-unifying aspect to drawn themselves together. One more? The player-driven economy and crafting system is fully-fleshed out, providing leagues of depth for people that take trading goods as seriously as most people take trading cannon fire.

DAY 4 Challenge2- Had a good day on the treadmill today. Will now update progress weekly. this time more determined than the last.
Welcome to C2, I still remember my C2 and believe me when I say that you probably learned alot from successes and challenges on your last challenge to help make this one even more successful. Best of Luck and Keep Moving Forward and don't let the scale discourage you, remember a lb or muscle weighs much more than a lb of body fat. Use better systems to measure body fat, OMRON device like I got at GNC or many gyms have, or pinch test calipers are more accurate and be sure to take beginning body area measurements as well and record them in your journal, electronic or paper journals. ANd don't forget to post a copy of that before photo on the door to the fridge or somewhere you will see it in the kitchen. (great motivator that one).
Very best of luck, Aurosramos! You can do it this time.
Day 11
Good week overall. settled into nice balanced routine. Not even severe hail storm putt me off. Went to the pokiest gym in the city centre and got my 20minute aerobic solution in. Thanks Dancing queen.
post again day 18 till next time
Congrats - good job! Are you located in the southwest region of Missouri? We have had some CRAZY weather lately, including hail.
Day 19
Great week. Just a hiccup Friday. Worked late and could not get to the gym. Transformed friday into freeday to keep up according to my journal. means no free day tuesday. Actually dancing queen i am located in the Northern Part of South Africa. Can you believe we had snow about a month ago! Scary. Been also plenty of severe storms lately totally unseasonal. It best to carry your own weather with you? (Covey). How is your challenge progressing? Anyway till next week.
Keep going Aurosramos!! I like it that you keep a journal here. I keep a public journal also under the thread "This is my Journey". It keeps me accountable and I can't give up. I have lived in your country for some months. Cape Town, Baby!! We loved it, that was in 1998-1999 for about 6 months as a Missionary family.
Northern part of South Africa? Gee, you don't even have an accent! (just kidding)
You had SNOW?! Wow. I'd give anything for some snow. It would be a nice reprieve from Missouri weather this summer. It has been a scorcher. Come up here and bring the snow with you! What season is it in South Africa now?
My Challenge 1 has been awesome from a weight loss perspective: 21 POUNDS in 7 WEEKS!!! I've been slow on getting into the exercise, but it is improving. Built a little fitness center in my home, so I have everything I need. ... Now I just NEED to push harder. Wish me luck!
Hi SorayaRosaria
think i got a friend request from you a while back. My work system did not allow me to follow the link. Actually i was born Cape Town. Beautiful city. Up in Pretoria for work.
Will check out your thread.
Hey Dancing Queen
It supposed to be spring. These days there appears to be only two seasons, summer and winter.
Great work on C1 keep going!
Also made some progress. 5cm on waist and hips. 4.5kg weight loss (although we not supposed to weigh). Enjoying the exercise part and settled nicely into good nutrition habits. I have not opted for free days but rather 1 free meal a week. I find that a full free day makes me lose focus and soon its a free week or weekend.
Day 23 (tempus fugit!)
Till next time.
Day 27
Had a great leg workout this morning. Its always easy to hit high points on the lower body. will focus on portions this week. Have some goals for the next few weeks and nutrition will be important.
Day 27... got ahead of myself yesterday.
I am having some problem with meal 5 and portion size. For the next week I am going to substitute meal 5 with a protein shake and see if that leads to better weight loss. Supposed to be free day tomorrow but will maintain nutrition and take a break on the exercise front. Need the same commitment to my nutrition plan as with my exercise plan. If results are positive i may look at meal 3 as well for 1 or two days a week.
Bought a new car! Red German beast! Now need the body to match it!
A sexy new car, eh? What fun! Hope you enjoy it.
Be careful not to cut back too much. I don't know about you, but if I cut back too much, it sometimes leads to even more food control issues.
Love what you have for inspiration. Now I know you will stick to this. You want to body to match the sexy car!! And I had to laugh when you said that if you take a whole day off, pretty soon it will be free weekend and then free week. Whatever works for you, man! I am now down to free meal also just because I am so close to finish line. But have always gone crazy on free days and focus hasn't been an issue. Stay true to yourself.
Hi Guys
Day 33
Wow. C2 i really rocketing along. Have not missed a workout yet and getting stronger and more toned. Need to tighten up on the nutrition front though. the next 51 days nutrition will be my major focus.
Dancing Queen: Will not cut back too much as i want to maintain the intensity of my workouts.
SR :What day are you on now? Post progress pics if you can
Till next time

A Bridge too far
Given what happened in the aftermath of Chelsea's FA Cup tie against Middlesbrough, it's rather remarkable to consider the passivity that preceded it.
Indeed, just after Rafa Benitez had given a relatively serene press conference on the eve of the game, a club employee who works quite close to him was asked whether the Spaniard's mood has changed; whether the club and all the controversy was getting to him.
"No, I don't think so at all," the Stamford Bridge official said. "He comes in, does his job as he always does, will talk the hind-legs off anyone as you see. He's been fine."
We now know that hasn't quite been the case.
Clearly, he's been bothered enough to ultimately boil over and deliver the kind of comments that are actually quite untypical of his time at the club so far. In fact, on every single previous occasion that he has been asked about the controversy or the cacophony of abuse he receives, he's always had a single prepared answer: "I do not notice because I am concentrating on the game."
We now also know that hasn't quite been the case. What is most surprising, though, is that it's not like the game he had been concentrating on was particularly testing - either in terms of emotion or opposition. Similarly, the chants will have been nothing new.
That does raise the question of whether something else set him off, which is always possible at this club; and particularly probable given the context of this appointment.
Along the same lines, though, this wasn't quite the 'rant' that was so readily portrayed. After an initial outburst, and despite a few slips of the tongue that indicated someone clearly venting frustration, Benitez did seem quite calm and in control by the end.
The big question now is whether he has also brought a premature end to a reign that was always going to be short.
The Chelsea hierarchy will hardly view this favourably, and certainly not his line to ITV - as opposed to the more general press conference - that "someone decided to put the title interim for me so that means my position from the beginning was weak". Within it, there was also a potential dig at a few high-profile squad members as he said: "I like to manage players and not names."
All that did smack of settling a score, and was quite reminiscent of the rancorous press conference after the 2010 World Club Cup final win which eventually saw him sacked from Inter within five days.
Whether he lasts that long at Chelsea remains to be seen. It is a rather charming coincidence, though, that their next match is against West Brom - the fixture that saw their last two managers get sacked.
To a degree, of course, his reaction is understandable. It's an impossible situation and one in which he has had to suffer a lot of abuse and pressure.
What is also understandable, though, is the fans' ire. For all the talk of spoiled supporters and a supposedly horrible club atmosphere, this was a man who initially questioned their very integrity as fans, even if, as he also pointed out, it was to score an advantage in an intense Champions League semi-final.
And, despite all that, it is also understandable why he took the job. Those close to him say, when debating whether he should accept, he was insistent that a top-four place and possibly a trophy - maybe even an outside shot at the title - would get him back in the managerial circuit and put him in contention for three specifically targeted jobs in the summer: the most obvious being the one at the Bernabeu.
And, to a point, it seemed as if all the parties had just about come to an uneasy alliance to achieve all their goals. While it might not have been smooth, Chelsea did look like they had the capacity to just about surf the waves and stay on course for a top four.
Now, it's all up for grabs again. Not least, potentially, the position of manager. And, in a story with so many questions from the very start, there are a few elements which are much less understandable.
First of all, there's the most pertinent question of all: Why did Roman Abramovich and the Chelsea hierarchy inflict this situation on the club to begin with? It was always a bizarre choice given the history. Many drew parallels with Brian Clough and Leeds United, and it is possible Benitez may have 99 days to go with that infamous 44 at Elland Road.
Secondly, there is the ongoing - if not the initial - unrest of the fans. While they were right to be unhappy with his appointment at the start, there does come a point where you live with it and just see it out, if still not accepting it - particularly when it was so patently clear that this was never going to go past May anyway. They could have coldly ignored him while backing the team. It would have offered the same sense of protest, but without the same potentially damaging effects and constantly angry backdrop.
Finally, though, there's Benitez's timing.
Having done so well, and evidently fought so hard, to keep his true feelings down for so long, he could have continued to maintain that uneasy alliance and just about secured the top four.
Now, if he doesn't immediately lose his job and damage his prospects of the Real Madrid position right now, he has created the kind of controversy that may well destabilise his team for the rest of the season - as well as those chances of the Bernabeu. Ultimately, Benitez needs to see out this season successfully to have a chance of the jobs he most wants.
The flipside, of course, is that there are no more politics, no more face-saving comments. In that, this might bring an odd catharsis to all parties. The entire situation really is that curious.
What is not curious, though, is the one line that captured all the headlines: Benitez has confirmed he is gone in May. It was the one element of this entire story that has never been in doubt.

Goodbye, Old Friend
Iconic Quad crab apple tree felled by winds
(Jan. 3, 2013) One of two crab apple trees that have for decades been the Quad's best place to perch, was felled by high winds during winter break. "This was a unique tree, a companion to so many people for so many years," said Melissa Acker, UNC Asheville grounds superintendent and landscape director, who will have the sad task of supervising removal of the tree.
The trees have been campus icons for as long as most on campus can remember. "We're guessing it was planted when Lipinsky Hall was completed," said Acker. That would date the tree to 1964. The other crab apple, closer to the entrance of Lipinsky Hall, remains. Both trees have shown the effects of age and have needed cables to support the weight of limbs.
"With most trees, we prune them to produce a straight trunk and a crown that supports it, but I'm guessing that these trees grew naturally for a lot of years and so they took their own form rather than being heavily pruned and shaped, and that's one reason you don't see many trees like that," said Acker.
Planted on the Quad lawn with no nearby trees for competition, the crab apples spread their branches wide. The tree that fell in December produced branches that were a joy to climb, and had room for many people to relax together in the shade.
Reaction from those returning to campus after winter break was visceral and immediate. Junior Caitlin Sands saw the fallen tree when she came to campus on Jan. 2 and quickly posted on Facebook,"My heart broke when this tree did." Sands loved sitting underneath the tree, reading or studying while other students lounged in the limbs above. "It was really a part of the campus and it's sad to see it go."
As the news spread, others with longtime ties to campus were also saddened by the news. Howard Harmon, who served as university grounds supervisor from 1971-1988 and tended to the trees when they were younger, said thinking about the loss of the tree brought a tear to his eye. "It is a fond memory, kind of heartbreaker, but everything has a longevity period," said Harmon. "Many times I stood on the steps of the library and looked down over the Quad when those beautiful trees were in bloom, and it was such a beautiful picture."
The tree was split by high winds on Dec. 21, when winds gusted up to 47 mph, according to the National Weather Service. The winds also took down three other trees on campus – pine trees on Campus Drive and near Phillips Hall, and an oak near the lower parking lot (now called P 26) downhill from Zeis Hall. But the crab apple on the Quad was special and is receiving special treatment even in death.
"Usually we remove downed trees in the most efficient manner, so we can keep a road or path clear" said Acker. "But this tree is an old friend and won't go straight into a chipper. We left it on the Quad for several days so people could see what happened to it when they returned after winter break. And Friday morning (Jan. 4), a few of us will go out early and start to clear the wood in as respectful way as we can. Small branches will be used as mulch, so they won't leave the campus, and we'll save all of the larger pieces so they can be used in some meaningful way."
The trunk will be cut down to ground level but the roots will be left in the ground, at least for now, while decisions are made about new planting. "That seems better than bringing in a tractor and digging out the roots right now," said Acker. "That is a special place on the Quad and we should take our time and think through what we want to do in that area."
